The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:United Daughters of the Confederacy. Legobot ( talk) 04:24, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
On 29 September 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dwight Agnew, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during the attack on Pearl Harbor, USS Trever left her captain behind when she put to sea? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dwight Agnew. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Dwight Agnew), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for creating an entry for my newspaper. I am the publisher Dylan Skriloff. I am responsible for spreading the reach of the paper to the major outlets you cited in recent years.
I have information about the paper's past, as well as recent history. Are you interested? This is my first time using wikipedia from the inside so if you have any instructions on how to submit information in a manner that is most convenient feel free to relay that to me. I will look it up on my own otherwise. Dskriloff ( talk) 15:46, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:History of the Communist Party of China. Legobot ( talk) 04:24, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello Chetsford - In August I created a draft for a new page about an upcoming theme park in China. According to your comment it was rejected because the current sources didn't demonstrate notability. I have since added additional reliable sources and replaced sources. The majority of the page's sources are from well-established news outlets and the theme park company's official website. The draft is now resubmitted for your approval: /info/en/?search=Draft:Shanghai_Haichang_Ocean_Park — Preceding unsigned comment added by MICHAELRG ( talk • contribs) 06:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Chetsford. I see that you recently helped with COI edit implementation on the page of Move (company). I am facing a similar situation with the page for FXCM and have made several requests for review but have been told to break things down sentence by sentence. I have receive a few conflicting responses through the process and was hoping you would be kind enough to review the current draft article I have placed in my sandbox. I realize that it is not your or anyone's responsibility to review any of my requests, but I am trying on behalf of FXCM to fully comply with the rules of Wikipedia in an attempt to get the article to read more neutral and also clarify the history of the company. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. -- Formilds ( talk) 00:47, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
I know that it is a burden to go through my edits requests. I am sorry and wish I knew an easier way for both of us. I also understand there are issues with the company that must be documented to have a neutral article. I am just tasked with making sure everything is done correctly and isn't promotional for the company or written in a way that makes the company seem like the devil. Thanks for your help with these. Hopefully we can get through them all.
— User:Formilds 8:14 pm, 15 October 2018, Monday (1 month, 5 days ago) (UTC−7)
Thanks, Spintendo. Despite leaving a message on your talk page, there have been a few unanswered questions within the edit requests on the talk page of the article. I also used a "ping" on several occasions but did not get a response. In fact, there is still an unanswered question on the talk page of FXCM for an edit request. I realize that you want the requests made a specific way, but that has been shown to be impossible. Asking to change one sentence would lead to another sentence needing moved which leads to another sentence being moved, etc. It is like a domino effect. I don't see that edits must be requested in a specific manner as you want, so I am guessing that this is just your preference. What I am asking is that a new draft that was prepared be reviewed and implemented as requested on the talk page. This is similar to other requests that have been reviewed and implemented for other pages. I am not sure if you will review it in this manner since you requested a specific line by line request (which again is impossible to do based on the differences). If not, please let me know and I can hopefully find help from another editor. As stated with my note on your talk page, I am not here to burden anyone and would like to make it as easy as possible to review, but the line by line request simply isn't going to be easy for any of us. Please let me know. -- Formilds ( talk) 00:51, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Chetsford! You've been willing to assist with edit requests in the past, so I was hoping you might be able to make a quick formatting update to an article on my behalf. I submitted an edit request here to update a section of the Choice Hotels article. User:WhisperToMe reviewed and implemented the proposed content, but at some point the definition of the "Grant18" reference was lost. I've asked the editor to define the reference in the article, and I'm sure they will come back around at some point, but in the meantime, might you be willing to add the following as an inline citation?
I'm just slightly afraid someone reviewing the recent article history might think the source does not exist. You can find the "Grant18" reference used here: Choice_Hotels#Growth_and_expansion. Thanks in advance for any help. Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:38, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello! I am hoping you might be able to revisit Talk:Choice_Hotels#"Corporate_affairs" soon to remove the ""Recent developments" and (duplicate) "Corporate affairs" sections. Thanks for all your help with this article. Inkian Jason ( talk) 16:09, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Emanuel Moravec headshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:34, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hello Chetsford. Can you tell me what I need to publish Irish Wildman. The only opinion in it that would be aligned to me would be the Slieveanorra photo opinion that it is a fallen tree.

British Bigfoot Reports cover witnesses both in Ireland and the UK and is run by Deborah Hatswell in England. Other information is common knowledge within Bigfoot Research across the world.

File:Poland 2017 Protest.jpg listed for discussion![]() Image source problem with File:Emblem of the Government Army.png![]() Thank you for uploading File:Emblem of the Government Army.png. This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:06, 5 December 2018 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B dash ( talk) 05:06, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
File source problem with File:William Ames heraldic achievement.png![]() Thank you for uploading File:William Ames heraldic achievement.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Hello Chetsford,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi, Chetsford! I've posted edit requests for both Coty, Inc. and Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş., hoping to replace the existing articles with improved and updated drafts. I was working with User:Fylbecatulous to update the Coty article, but their profile now says they are deceased. I've tried reaching out to relevant WikiProjects for both articles, but so far no editors have reviewed the requests. Might you happen to be interested in either article? They are very different, both both in pretty bad shape. If you're not interested, of course that's OK, and I hope you're having a good holiday season.

Hey, I really didn't mean to annoy you by working on this, I thought given how things went with Crane & Co. that you were fine with someone working on saving the article. FWIW, I believe that both Crane and MEI are very notable in manufacturing, and would not have tried to save them if not (I don't try to save all that many articles).

Thank you for reviewing my first article. I saw that you declined it based on copyright violation. I am not sure what specifically in the article was in violation?
Can you please tell me what it was specifically so I can remove it?

Hi Chetsford
Thank you for taking the time to read through and approve my Quiet Logistics article submission.
I understand your concern regarding compensation. However, I'm not being compensated for creating it. Quiet Logistics does not know about the article nor that I created it. (I'm the only person who knows who created it and you and I are most likely the only two people to have ever read it.) 17 years ago I worked with the founders of Quiet while at EXE Technologies.
It's been about 15 years since I did any wikipedia editing, and that was limited to correcting grammar and spelling. I'm still climbing the learning curve so please excuse any formatting issues or my not replying in the proper place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamreh ( talk • contribs) 17:25, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Chetsford! You declined an article creation that was recently added citing insufficient reliable resources. The article in question cites reputable press coverage from a variety of national and regional sources as well as involvement with other national recording artists currently on Wikipedia.

Hi Chetsford, thank you being so quick in reviewing this submitted article - /info/en/?search=Draft:Spirited_Bodies. As there's generally a long lead time for reviews I thought I might have to wait until April. I also appreciate you clarifying some specifics.
With regards to two references where 'Vimeo' was stated as the 'publisher', I've now corrected this on the advice of a Wikipedia IRC Help member so the publisher now shows the originator of the published material - namely the BBC and Sky News - rather than the platform that hosts these extracts. The platform is being used because the content was featured within news programmes that were several hours long, and contained third-party material that could not be republished.
With regard to the Daily Mail not being regarded as a reliable source, I wholly concur and it pains me to use them, but in mitigation would say that article referenced is from The Mail on Sunday, which has had a different (less extreme) editorial policy, and the article dates from 2012, a few years before the time that the Daily Mail stated to become formally regarded as an unreliable source. Also, in this instance the journalist was personally an active participant in the event covered by the article, rather than taking a slanted editorially-loaded view from a distance.
Having made these changes so it's now clearer that there are references originating from major UK news organisations - The Telegraph, The Times, BBC radio, Sky News, London Evening Standard - and one major international organisation (the Televisa FOROtv recording), I've resubmitted the article for consideration again. If I come across more robust reference sources, I'll add those too as we go along.
Best regards, Steve.
p.s. I've not used one of these User Talk pages before, no apologies for any breach of etiquette.

Hi, Chetsford. I see that you recently helped with COI edit implementation on the page of Move (company). I am facing a similar situation with the page for FXCM and have made several requests for review but have been told to break things down sentence by sentence. I have receive a few conflicting responses through the process and was hoping you would be kind enough to review the current draft article I have placed in my sandbox. I realize that it is not your or anyone's responsibility to review any of my requests, but I am trying on behalf of FXCM to fully comply with the rules of Wikipedia in an attempt to get the article to read more neutral and also clarify the history of the company. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. -- Formilds ( talk) 00:47, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
I know that it is a burden to go through my edits requests. I am sorry and wish I knew an easier way for both of us. I also understand there are issues with the company that must be documented to have a neutral article. I am just tasked with making sure everything is done correctly and isn't promotional for the company or written in a way that makes the company seem like the devil. Thanks for your help with these. Hopefully we can get through them all.
— User:Formilds 8:14 pm, 15 October 2018, Monday (1 month, 5 days ago) (UTC−7)
Thanks, Spintendo. Despite leaving a message on your talk page, there have been a few unanswered questions within the edit requests on the talk page of the article. I also used a "ping" on several occasions but did not get a response. In fact, there is still an unanswered question on the talk page of FXCM for an edit request. I realize that you want the requests made a specific way, but that has been shown to be impossible. Asking to change one sentence would lead to another sentence needing moved which leads to another sentence being moved, etc. It is like a domino effect. I don't see that edits must be requested in a specific manner as you want, so I am guessing that this is just your preference. What I am asking is that a new draft that was prepared be reviewed and implemented as requested on the talk page. This is similar to other requests that have been reviewed and implemented for other pages. I am not sure if you will review it in this manner since you requested a specific line by line request (which again is impossible to do based on the differences). If not, please let me know and I can hopefully find help from another editor. As stated with my note on your talk page, I am not here to burden anyone and would like to make it as easy as possible to review, but the line by line request simply isn't going to be easy for any of us. Please let me know. -- Formilds ( talk) 00:51, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Chetsford! You've been willing to assist with edit requests in the past, so I was hoping you might be able to make a quick formatting update to an article on my behalf. I submitted an edit request here to update a section of the Choice Hotels article. User:WhisperToMe reviewed and implemented the proposed content, but at some point the definition of the "Grant18" reference was lost. I've asked the editor to define the reference in the article, and I'm sure they will come back around at some point, but in the meantime, might you be willing to add the following as an inline citation?
I'm just slightly afraid someone reviewing the recent article history might think the source does not exist. You can find the "Grant18" reference used here: Choice_Hotels#Growth_and_expansion. Thanks in advance for any help. Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:38, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

Hello Chetsford,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi, Chetsford! I've posted edit requests for both Coty, Inc. and Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş., hoping to replace the existing articles with improved and updated drafts. I was working with User:Fylbecatulous to update the Coty article, but their profile now says they are deceased. I've tried reaching out to relevant WikiProjects for both articles, but so far no editors have reviewed the requests. Might you happen to be interested in either article? They are very different, both both in pretty bad shape. If you're not interested, of course that's OK, and I hope you're having a good holiday season.

Thank you for taking the time to read through and approve my Quiet Logistics article submission.
I understand your concern regarding compensation. However, I'm not being compensated for creating it. Quiet Logistics does not know about the article nor that I created it.

Hi Chetsford, thank you being so quick in reviewing this submitted article - /info/en/?search=Draft:Spirited_Bodies. As there's generally a long lead time for reviews I thought I might have to wait until April. I also appreciate you clarifying some specifics.
With regards to two references where 'Vimeo' was stated as the 'publisher', I've now corrected this on the advice of a Wikipedia IRC Help member so the publisher now shows the originator of the published material - namely the BBC and Sky News - rather than the platform that hosts these extracts. The platform is being used because the content was featured within news programmes that were several hours long, and contained third-party material that could not be republished.
With regard to the Daily Mail not being regarded as a reliable source, I wholly concur and it pains me to use them, but in mitigation would say that article referenced is from The Mail on Sunday, which has had a different (less extreme) editorial policy, and the article dates from 2012, a few years before the time that the Daily Mail stated to become formally regarded as an unreliable source. Also, in this instance the journalist was personally an active participant in the event covered by the article, rather than taking a slanted editorially-loaded view from a distance.
Having made these changes so it's now clearer that there are references originating from major UK news organisations - The Telegraph, The Times, BBC radio, Sky News, London Evening Standard - and one major international organisation (the Televisa FOROtv recording), I've resubmitted the article for consideration again. If I come across more robust reference sources, I'll add those too as we go along.
Best regards, Steve.
p.s. I've not used one of these User Talk pages before, no apologies for any breach of etiquette.
